Seems Jon Stewart studied up hard for this interview! This conservative wonk has managed to confuse and confound Sarah Palin and the rest of the Republican Base with her runaround bullcrap, but not Jon Stewart or anyone with a brain bigger than a bullet.
Betsy McCaughey is director of a medical device company Cantel Meidical Corp, former director of biotech company Genta, is a senior fellow at the very conservative Hudson Institute, a member of the very conservative Manhatten Institute and worked for the Chase Manhattan Bank. Rachel Maddow column on Betsy McCaughey
Here is the lie she began on the Fred Thompson Radio Show.
"Congress would make it mandatory, absolutely require, that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner." Betsy McCaughey
In reply to her statement that she is for insuring the uninsured – which left the impression she was a moderate just doing her job – Jon Stewart should have instantly asked if she was for a Public Option. And when she admitted she is against it, not being a Socialist or a NAZI, Jon should have then read off the list of the Right-wing think tanks she belongs and the money she makes in Health care products.
Watching this woman fumble the pages, fumble the facts and complicate the issue outside the process of reasonable debate, is it any wonder that some Airhead unable to grasp anything more complicated than a bullet would translate it all into Deal Panels?
Speaking of Republican Airheads…
Though I was aware that failed Republican presidential candidate and creationist Mike Huckabee has a Right-wing television show on Fox News – which seems to have paid him so well he has gained a few thousand pounds – I was not aware that the biggest loser in the 2008 Republican Primaries – Fred Thompson – moved on to the lucrative Right-wing radio business.
This of course leaves no doubt as to what Sarah Palin will be doing after she and her over fertile hillbilly family get run out of Alaska on a pregnant moose.
And as the author of the biggest and most disgusting flat out lie of the Summer she is sure to do well and be paid very well. Rush got fat again, Hannity put on lots of weight, Thompson, Beck and Savage are fatties…
So expect Sarah’s ass to enlarge as she finally makes enough money for a lifetime supply of birth control pills for the entire Palin family.
